A very good point very well made BladeTriple, and a point I've long agreed with. In our society the principle of 'looking after number one' to the detriment of others fostered in the Thatcher years...

Seems the aged are going to have to contribute to Tory funds to pay for the unemplyed masses they are planning - ho-hum - Keith Joseph, the Mad Monk all over again! When will this country ever...

Here's a sad report from the Telegraph - just as I was getting exited by my winter fuel payment too!

We're going to have to wait to see how these cuts pan out in reality before we can make any real judgements - there is a lot we still no little about.

However, if the economists who are supposed...

Ducatista - thanks for your post I checked out that link and it seems that somehow I'm being done on my £60 payment! Useful link which i am using to challenge it.

Whilst agreeing with the rest of...

Blade Triple - Good post - most of which I agree with - maybe not the old folks bit - I'm almost one of them - you think £97 per week is suitable reward by way of pension for 50 years contribution?...

Nick Said You just Totally contradicted yourself JAYJAY lol .. you say applaud my outlook but you "carry on moaning" Yes we are here for a good time and not a long time , so STOP all this whining...

Only un-googled answer before midnight counted!

During the '70s we had a period of enforced 50 mph speed limit on motorways - all drivers issued with...

No the stats are right, it's you that's wrong.
Redken said we are seeing RECORD numbers of deaths due to the cold and as your graph shows the current death rates are NOT at record highs.

Political discussion is good - why avoid it - this is the NON bike heading after all!
It shows far more intelligence to be able to share facts and views than to avoid it. Only by having open minds...

DaytonaDog - thanks for the qualification which I read much more happily. I havn't seen the report you quote but would like to if you can remember it's source I think it could be an educational read....

I'm a customer services executive and by no means well off. I am not one of the 'poor' caught in the poverty trap I refer to and neither are you. We have the luxury of feeling 'relative'...

Again the supposed facts are wrong. Benefits DO NOT cost more than generated tax. In fact the expected tax take expected on closing the Swiss Bank loophole is set to benefit the exchequer billions....

I am really sorry DaytonaDog but I have to say that has to be one of the most biased, ill-informed, vitrilous, lopsided posts it's ever been my displeasure to have read!

If you think families on...

Well Said ThorKill - if we have pensioners unable to survive in our own system why the hell don't we deal with that first!! I know we have to be sensitive to the planet as a whole but surely charity...
